Short Swiveling Poems

single samara
swiveling down creates a
great impediment
for minute passing life and
a dam for trickling water....

dizzy dance of leaves
falling, evergreens crooning,
tire swing swiveling,
swords clashing, children laughing
bluster brisk as battle cools

I danced with you beneath the blue moon 
swiveling around you like a garland festoon 
blue unicorns pranced, a flower bloomed 
wiggling round words that you crooned

flurry of snowflakes,
waltz down in swiveling steps~
sun saw their last dance

wish to sleep
not to die;
wish to fly
not to cry

root to vertex
not any text;
the breath’s whip
in life’s fax

feast of end
implanting trend;
in whining gyre
swiveling blood gland

In the frosty boudoir of the winter
The fireplace's blaze seems dancing.
Legs and arms move hastily to hinder.
Hands and shoulders are swiveling.
As if there was a lovely lady dancer.

eyes open



eyes open
tears jerked
edges fallen
from
corners
circle me wagons
turquoise bead bender
swirling swiveling heads
counter me balanced
high-voltage death
sky lit up stars
night fell
fall on
me
own
escaped
borrows love
gutter prom kiss
naked shingles skin
rake me across
the
coals
here we are
eyes open

Everybody owns an office,
Though not already swiveling its chair;
Everybody, custodian of some promise,
To think differently, simply unfair.

The yet-to -be jangling -the keys to -it
Isn't to be dismissed as unfit
Between Mr. Dalton and Lady Eunice,
All repositories of some gift
Before their last breaths have it surface
If not stupendously, more than a bit....

Memory of Liberty

  Ballroom entanglements of crush induce dancers,
  Flouncing hem of skirt of my lady the Royal Queen,
  Wavy as ocean, swiveling and sweeping in spiraling
  concerto,
  The sea of floating headgears bobbing up at the simms,
  Footfalls on the parade paved hill tarmac of many
  destinies,
  Lives held in captivities in the jaws of colonial
  metropolitan,
  Imploding, searchlight to conquer the fun-fare frontiers,...

Not really I replied
I could not actually imagine a pandemic
In my lifetime

Had never heard the term pandemic
Or if I had, 
I did not recall it.

The world has turned itself
upside down and sideways
People have stopped socializing

For the pandemic is here
Swiveling her terrifying self
Into every aspect of our lives 

When I get to heaven I will ask
about her, for she is stealing our 
days with each other, making me irritable....
